This collection offers the first systematic analysis of the various witchcraft laws and associated witch trials that developed independently in Russia and Ukraine from the Middle Ages to the late 19th century. Witchcraft in Russia and Ukraine: 1000–1900 combines scholarly commentary with previously unpublished primary sources in Old Church Slavonic, Polish, Russian, and Ukrainian, all in translation. These include the earliest accounts of witchcraft and sorcery, secular and ecclesiastical laws on witchcraft and possession, complete trial records, and numerous magical spells.

Valerie Kivelson and Christine Worobets offer new interpretations of the functioning and evolution of legal systems, the interactions and conflicts between church and state, and the everyday concerns of men and women caught up in witchcraft trials.
